Lesson 3054

Lesson (3054)(05-11-20) 2 Peter 1:1-4
    “Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”

   In today’s quote, there is yet another promise of eternal security to those of us who have come to believe in Jesus Christ. Peter says that the eternally saved have, “escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” That means that as we continually appear before God, all He sees is the righteousness of Jesus Christ that has been imputed into us. The sins of the flesh will “justified” by the imputed righteousness of Christ.~
